American Airlines to waive baggage fees for military members

EL PASO - American Airlines announced Wednesday that it will waive a $100 excess baggage fee that military service members preparing for deployment overseas have been charged for at least the past five years. The announcement that troops carrying service-required items would not be charged for a third checked bag came a little more than two weeks after a story in the El Paso Times detailed the experience of two Texas Army National Guard Soldiers who were flying out of El Paso. Both were charged for extra baggage as they headed for training before deploying to Iraq later this year. More... Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Nutty News
